Better to check in closer to flight date?
I read some while ago that it's safer to check in close to your flight date, rather than as soon as check in opens. This is because an airline refused to refund a passenger for their flight after they became ill and couldn't fly - the airline said that having checked in, they had entered a contract to take the flight. Last…

Spusu Mobile. Customer Service Email no response
Have several Spusu sims in the family. 18 months ago when I took these out their customer service by email was very good, usually sorting problems same day. I've been trying to get a response by email, every day for 6 days and absolutely nothing. Has anyone had any luck with office@spusu.co.uk. or is it defunct? If they…

Goldcar Rental & DoYouSpain
We paid a deposit for Car Rental through DoYouSpain for a car to be picked up from Goldcar in Alicante Airport. We got to the Goldcar kiosk at 11pm on 12th July to see a huge huddle of people. They had a ticket system where you had to click whether you had a booking or not. Those that had bookings already were left waiting…

We hired a car from a rental company in Cyprus. We had used them on previous holidays. We also have an annual excess cover from Questor. Two days before the end of our holiday we found our car had been hit overnight whilst parked across from our hotel. The car we were told by the rental company was a 'right off'. The…

Avis won't refund me for a repair to a hire car they instructed me to make
When I was on holiday in the US I rented a 4x4 from Avis & had a tire blow out whilst there. After phoning the emergency number I was towed to the nearest garage for the repair as I was too far from their nearest location for a replacement vehicle. They gave me an email address over the phone to send the receipt for the…

How to avoid being ripped off by a car rental company?
Hello, I am going abroad soon and need to rent a car at the airport. I've had a few interesting experiences myself and am wondering how to avoid issues this time.

Couple of months ago I booked flight to US. PE going out BC coming back, I’m now thinking I’d fancy BC both ways, there is nothing showing on my AA app at present showing an upgrade (paying extra of course) option, is one likely to appear when I go to check in, if BC seats are still available? Otherwise how do I go about…

Complaining to Avis
After some advice on how to approach this with Avis. Earlier this month we hired a car from Avis in Italy. On day 5, I was driving along when the left rear tyre deflated. Pulled into the side of the road, checked the boot to find no spare so phoned the Avis helpline. After 45 minutes on hold, Avis arranged for a towtruck…

How do you know when you're going to be charged a foreign fee?
I got the Barclaycard app ahead of time ready to use abroad (France) and that went just fine. Was also aware that Chase don't charge for using their debit card either so had that as a backup if needed. All good so far. Fully expected that if I used a debit card abroad (HSBC) then there'd be a fee of sorts. So the obvious…

Out-of-date Norwegian currency - any way that I can exchange this?
I visited Norway a couple of times back in 2013/2015, and I had some currency left over. I didn't exchange it afterwards as I thought I may go back. Well, you know where this is going ... I tried to exchange some Norwegian notes that I had not used - in fact they had never been used by anyone! - but the notes were dated…
